Search: Starring Pet

Paul Morrison's film recreates the subversive undercurrents of suspicion within a white working-class community extremely well, in addition to celebrating the dignity and perseverance of the new immigrants.

If there is one word to describe World Trade Center it would be 'reverent'. If it wasn't so well directed, so well acted, so well edited, Stone might be accused of going soft.

Manipulating emotions matters most when the plot is weak. They throw everything in the candy store at this one.

Pure joy from start to finish.

One of the irresistible charms of Wallace And Gromit for many fans is not just that they are quintessentially British but that they are unmistakably northern.

The film is at its best as a character study.

Each story has to it a kernel of interestingness, some more than others. But I wasn’t convinced they all belonged in the same world.

Waterworld has a lot going for it. It's everything an action/sci-fi movie should be.

The action scenes right through the film are visceral and heart-thumping.

A slowly driven road movie that blends comedy and drama, while it milks its laughs, some of them very loud, from the perfect timing of the revelations and from the perfectly nuanced relationships between the characters

Here cosmos and chaos, action and reaction, hope and despair, love and anger, all bump and grind together in a Satanic tango.

A thoughtful but dreary examination of narcissism, disconnection and emotional dishonesty.

You'll be humming the catchy chorus long after the credits have rolled.

Not a great deal happens in this story of survivalism and primitive conflicts that we haven't seen dozens of times before, but by sticking with Anna's perspective, writer/director Josh Mendoza makes it all feel very different.

For fans of the musical, this will give them more of what they already like, perhaps even too much. For those not yet fans I'm not sure this will give them enough.

Truly a milestone in British cinema.

Pandurska’s control over tone and atmosphere is assured, and nature itself becomes the quiet guide of Daphne’s internal transformation.

Danes deftly avoids making her character appear at all weak or insipid, instead showing us a young woman of great courage and agency, in spite of how little control Juliet seems to have over her life.

A few scenes are likely to genuinely terrify younger viewers, but Wonka would be the first to point out that children ought to be terrified now and then.

Young star Paul Kircher puts in an impressively sensitive and emotionally raw peformance.

Palmason accentuates the tedium by holding almost every shot far longer than necessary or shooting scenes in pitch black mines or against stark landscapes white with lime dust.

Truly gripping.

"Mother Nature is a serial killer," someone says, and it doesn't sound cheesy because the action smashes through the walls of scepticism and highjacks your logical mind

Without the all-star cast, it's easy to imagine X-Men: Apocalypse as a dismal failure, but the somewhat nonsensical script is rescued by the performances.

This was a great chance to cover one of the most iconic storylines in the history of comics, squandered by not handing the script to a five-year-old child in order to iron out some of the more egregious errors prior to filming.

What makes this film so enjoyable is the chemistry that holds its ensemble together.

Forget the story, stunts have usurped spontaneity.

Writers Jon Hewitt and Belinda McClory chalk out a fine line between seedy entertainment and social commentary - and then stomp all over it as their slick film embraces the urban sleaze as much as holding it up for judgement.

One of the rare chick flicks that doesn’t appear to hate women, Year Of The Dog contains its essentially sappy narrative within a membrane of stabbing humor and ingenious reaction shots.

Fear festers like the cut of a rusty scythe.

Written around the songs as it is, the film makes good use of them and they add to rather than distracting from the narrative.

The film keeps us guessing for quite some time, despite delivering a number of unsettling hints

Emotion stains the walls of this period film like gutter waste.

The film that saw the super-spy become larger-than-life.

The Zero Theorem is a messy mélange of broad pratfalls, challenged idealism, dark satire, and expansive, indeed cosmic allegory - but it also .cannot escape being seen as a kind of Brazil vers. 2.0.

Simply aping horror films of yesteryear, layering on the piles of intestines, and putting self-aware performances on screen, isn’t enough on its own in today’s crowded field of horror parodies.

There are no shortcuts in this film, no conventions and nothing careless.
